I'm friggin' amazed, that among all the sturm and drang related to the U.S. Dollar and QE3...etc, etc...

The DXY has been in narrow range congestion for nearly 4 MONTHS!

Crazy.

Andy

did you have any ideas on the general structure of the Z wave

I think you were originally thinking it'd be 38.2 of the Y, is that right?

a basic 5-3-5, perhaps some sort of diametric
Or did you punt that count completely at this point?

ben22 said...

I was also curious if you still keep charts on AAPL

I've got some work I'd like to share with you if so

Andy T said...

please share whatever you have on Apple. wud love to see it.

ben22 said...

oh, I'm not sure if I'm bold enough to put it up on a blog, but in an email....ha!

because what I'd say is probably worthy of public ridicule

I love apple, it's an awesome company, I use lots of their products

but you know, I might be inclined to fade the beast in 4-5 months.

in re: S&P500 wave count.

It's difficult for me to say where that last e-wave ended, but if it ended where I think it did, then the 38.2% of y=z would target 1252....

I really like the idea of scale up selling the s&p....we probably have a little bit of time on our side here, but I would be "loaded" short into 1250....

Thx AR/AT for the charts!

I keep hearing more and more about the FAA dudes that got furloughed won't get paid for the weeks they we off. Most didn't apply for unemployment benefits thinking they would get free backpay. So sad, to bad.

Also, there's chatter about another furlough end of fiscal year. I give the Oman less than a year before he's asking for more $,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$.¢¢

Gold, it's what's for breakfast!

I've got 1259-1266 on the $spx

I've seen some calls for 1280...I've seen some calls for potentially 900 by the end of September!

we'll see....

SPX possible highs 1251.36 to 1256.87 (the SMA55 & SMA13). But it has to close above 1235.92 (38.2% retrace first.

Waiting for the next act in the circus. I have no conviction.

Amusing interview with Bill Gross on Kudlow and Company this evening. Gross says that junk bonds are terrible in a low growth environment.

I am curious about your opinions on junk in a low growth environment. My opinion is the opposite of Gross'. I think that equities are bad because the multiples have to compress, but junk bonds just need to be paid back, which companies can do in a low growth environment. At these rates, as long as there aren't massive defaults, you get the equity market premium with less risk (in my opinion). Taxes are the great equalizer here, but if you have IRAs and Roth IRAs, you can shelter some of it.

Speaking of Bill Gross, check out the "catalogue notes & provenance" link here:

I guess government paper really holds an allure for some folks. Personally, I hold pannapictagraphists in higher esteem than philatelists..
